#### 15.10.2 Including index terms in Word

To have DITA2Go include index terms in RTF output:

    [WordOptions]
    ; Index = Standard (Word index markers), or None
    Index=Standard

When Index=Standard, DITA2Go creates a Word {xe} field for each <indexterm>. To generate an index from these fields in Word, see §15.1.4 Including or excluding contents and index.

Note: Word uses the character formatting in effect at the {xe} field itself for the entire index item. To avoid unwanted formatting, place index markers at the very end of a paragraph. (Or at the very beginning; though if the paragraph format itself includes bold or italic, those effects will apply to the index item.)

When Index=None, Word {xe} fields are not created.

“See also” index references

“See also” type index references are not supported by Word index generation. However, when you specify Index=Standard you can direct DITA2Go to refrain from converting see-also index entries to Word {xe} fields:

    [WordOptions]
    ; NoSeeAlso = No (default, keep See Also markers)
    ;   or Yes (remove them)
    NoSeeAlso=Yes

When NoSeeAlso=No, see-also index entries are converted to {xe} fields in RTF output files.

When NoSeeAlso=Yes, see-also index entries are not converted to {xe} fields in RTF output.
